Objective
- Permanent fluorine containing NANOMER coatings with low surface free energy prepared by
sol-gel route
Properties
- Surface free energy comparable to fluorine polymers (18 - 20 mJ/m²)
- Reduced wettability for oil, water, soap
- Transparent
- High scratch and abrasion resistance
|
Applications
- Shower cabins in public and private bathrooms
- Coating of other transparent polymers for various applications possible
Advantages
- Enhanced scratch resistance of polystyrene shower walls
- Reduced tendency of soiling and soil/grease adhesion, minimization of cleaning efforts
(with regard to time and water consumption)
- Improved hygiene
- Integration of coating step in production is possible
